GRAM-MA WAS READY
GRAM-MA WAS AND INDIAN . . .FROM
THE TRIBE OF THE CHEROKEE
A WOMAN FULL OF WISDOM, WHO
TAUGHT MANY THINGS TO ME
A GOOD CHRISTIAN ALL HER LIFE
SERVING HER LORD, MOST HIGH
SHE SAID SHE LOOKED FORWARD TO
THE DAY . . SHE'D MEET HIM IN THE SKY
THEN BEFORE I KNEW IT, THE TIME
WAS DRAWING NEAR . . .GRAM-MA WAS
GETTING WEAK, SHE WOULD LEAVE US
SOON, IT WAS CLEAR
I SADLY WATCHED GRAM-MA
AS SHE LAY DYING IN HER BED
SHE WASN'T MOANING, NOR BITTER
SHE PRAYED AS SHE BOWED HER HEAD
YOU COULD BEARLY HEAR HER VOICE
AS SHE THANKED GOD . . .FOR EVERYTHING
SHE ACTUALLY SEEMED A LITTLE ANXIOUS
FOR THE PEACE THAT DEATH WOULD BRING
AS THE ROOM BECAME VERY QUIET
WITH GRAMMA . . . LYING SO STILL
SILENTLY, I KNELT BESIDE HER
ASKING "GOD" TO DO HIS WILL
ALOUD I PRAYED "LORD I LOVE HER"
AND "I DON'T WANT YOU TO TAKE HER"
THEN LOOKING UP . . .SHE SMILED
SAYING "CHILD, I'M READY TO MEET
MY MAKER!"
THINKING THEN ON WHAT SHE SAID
HER FAITH AND COURAGE SO STRONG
I KNEW I HAD TO LET HER GO
FOR THIS MEETING, SHE'S WAITED
. . . . SO LONG!
